Vagrant Box (virtual machine) for frontend development

Vagrant Box (virtual machine) for frontend development

My main goal is have a base environment for development without highly customized configuration

Requirements:

• Oracle Virtual Box https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
• Vagrant https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

I'm using a customized box based on ubuntu/vivid64 but with all we need to work as a frontend developer

You can configure two things in this virtual machine, using environment variables:

• Amount of memory: vm_memory (default is 2048MB)
• Amount of cpus: vm_cpus (default is 4)

I have created two options of boxs. It's possible to run both at the same time, but this isn't the objetive. My goal is use one box at a time, depending of the project that I'm working on.

If you want to know more about multi-VM environments, please take a look to the Vagrant's documentation.
